Matching Donation for Kaporos Chicken Rescue!
Your donation will now have double the impact.
A generous donor has pledged a matching donation of $10,000 to assist our rescue of Kaporos chickens. We need your help raising $10,000 to receive these much needed matching funds.
The Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos plans to rescue hundreds of survivors from this year's Kaporos rituals in New York City. It is estimated that 375-450 chickens will have secure homes to go to by the end of the Kaporos Week this year. Your donation is projected to cover:
- The triage and foster of the 5-week-old chickens as they are rescued.
- Emergency care by experienced sanctuary caretakers from Tamerlaine and VINE sanctuaries.
- Veterinary expenses for birds requiring amputations or who have infected/necrotic wounds.
- Transport to every region of the United States to their forever homes.
- Support offered to sanctuaries making special arrangements to increase their capacity.

The Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos is a project of United Poultry Concerns. Formed in New York City in June 2010, the Alliance is an association of groups and individuals who seek to replace the use of chickens in Kaporos ceremonies with money or other non-animal symbols of atonement. The Alliance does not oppose Kaporos per se, only the cruel and unnecessary use of chickens in the ceremony.
